Many, many years ago I wanted to play RuneScape, totally new to the interwebs I was faced with the question of my account name. So I thought: Skullhead is a really gangsta name, like skull, and head! But then I got a message that the name was already in use, so I just typed '45' at the end. That was my account name for all things of the interwebs for nearly 2 years. Then I brought a game called "Guild Wars" and I entered my name "Skullhead45" like always. But then I got the message that I wasn't allowed to type numerals. So I just typed in 2 random characters without looking to the keyboard and 'hq' came out. Got nothing to do with headquaters.

Anyway, I'll deliver screens when I get them.

And I always thought the "hq" in your name was headquarters... damn. I have a similar story with the KOTOR name generator, but let's not derail the a topic.

Edit: Fifth'd

We'll fight tonight. I'll take as much screenies as possible and I'll upload the replay, if anyone is interested.

He has not had much help yet- go and play with Vartan, he wants you ;-)

So, why not help him then?

Because, as you will notice from my posts these days, they are brief and requires no thought. They are short breaks in my study of exceedingly boring Micro- and Macroeconomics for an exam that is pass or piss off... Breaks that require no thought, cause my brain is exploding with economical theory and has no room for other thoughts.

EBII also badly needs me, but that will be after exam.

By the way.
Phalanx box plus Hypaspitai is next to impossible to beat. You just place them at the corners so that the box is shaped like a hexagon.
Of course its expensive, but even with regular hoplitai the enemy has a huge problem.
They stand incredible close to each other so they are perfect for holding such small spots, they dont tire in defense mode, they have incredible armour ratings and they are impossible to atack with cavallery, when they stand in the corners.
I love this combination. :)
